- | ====== Computer Science Teaching Endorsement ====== | + | Moved to [[License]]. |
- | + | ||
- | The Purdue Computer Science Teaching Endorsement prepares education majors to teach computer science in secondary schools. The endorsement is designed to meet the ISTE Secondary Computer Science Education [[http://www.ncate.org/documents/ProgramStandards/ISTE_csed_2002.pdf | program standards]]. The endorsement consists of two components, one in computer science and one in education. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===== 1. Computer Science Course Work ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The computer science foundation is obtained by taking five courses. Some of the courses are not only offered by Computer Science, but also through Electrical & Computer Engineering and Mathematics. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - Contemporary Issues in Computing (CS 190, 1 credit) | + | |
- | - Problem Solving and Object-Oriented Programming (CS 180, 4 credits, Java) | + | |
- | - Programming in C (CS 240, 3 credits; CS 158 or 159 or ECE 264 also possible) | + | |
- | - Foundations of CS/Discrete Math (CS 182, 3 credits; Math 375 or ECE 369 also possible) | + | |
- | - Data Structures and Algorithms (CS 251, 3 credits; ECE 368 also possible) | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In addition, students take one elective course, which can be a computer science course or a computing-related course relevant to activities a computer science teacher will engage in. The elective course can be: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * CS 177 (if taken before CS 180) | + | |
- | * CS course at 200- or higher level | + | |
- | * CGT/CIT course in web programming | + | |
- | * EPICS participation (requires approval) | + | |
- | * Other computing related course (approved on a case-by-case basis). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===== 2. Education Course Work and Practicum ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The education-related requirements include a computer science methods course, which addresses methods for teaching computer science at the high school level, and a teaching practicum in CS completed in coordination with the teaching practicum in the primary licensure area: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - Methods of Teaching Computer Science in Secondary Schools (EDST 4xx, 3 credits) | + | |
- | - Teaching Practicum (CS teaching experience will be added to primary licensure area) | + |
